The Solo-Jec® 5 vaccine for dogs protects against five diseases caused by canine distemper, Canine Adenovirus Type 2 (CAV-2), parainfluenza, and parvovirus.
Note: This product is a highly effective, premium 5-in-1 dog vaccine. However, it is not recommended for puppies and adult dogs who may have been exposed to Leptospira or animals at high risk of Leptospira exposure. Solo-Jec® 9 and Solo-Jec® 10 offer protection against four strains of Leptospira. Consult with a Revival Animal Health Animal Care Specialist to determine the best vaccination strategy for your dogs, considering their risk factors.
What Is in the Solo-Jec® 5 Vaccine?
This 5-in-1 vaccine for dogs and puppies is a combination of antigenic and attenuated strains of canine distemper, parainfluenza, CAV-2, and parvovirus propagated in cell line tissue cultures. The liquid diluent is the Parvovirus vaccine.
A modified, live virus, the Solo-Jec® 5 vaccine for dogs can be administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously and is recommended for use in healthy dogs 6 weeks of age or older who are not exposed to Leptospira. Solo-Jec® 5 contains 25 1-ml doses.
How Many Doses of Solo-Jec® 5 Vaccine Should Be Given to Puppies and on What Schedule?
Healthy puppies, 6 weeks of age and older, should be given the Solo-Jec® 5 vaccine at 3-4 week intervals until they are 16 weeks old for at least three doses.
Puppies younger than 6 weeks receive maternal antibodies from their mothers, which can inhibit the effectiveness of vaccines. Providing a series of vaccines at regular intervals from the age of 6 weeks ensures that the puppy remains protected as the maternal antibodies diminish.
A booster shot is recommended at the one-year checkup, followed by annual revaccinations or as determined by your veterinarian.
How Do You Administer the Solo-Jec® 5-Way Vaccine?
One milliliter should be injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
The Solo-Jec® 5 vaccine for dogs suggests following these instructions to administer the 5-in-1 puppy vaccine:
- Open the syringe by twisting or tapping the cap against a hard surface to break the heat weld.
- Prepare the vaccine by injecting the diluent into the vial containing the desiccated vaccine cake.
- Shake well.
- Withdraw the entire contents into the syringe.
- Thoroughly prepare the site with antiseptic.
- Inject 1 mL intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
When vaccinating multiple dogs or puppies at the same time, take care to segregate vaccinated and unvaccinated animals to avoid confusion. After administering each five-way dog vaccine, remove the peel-off batch sticker from the vial. Stick it on the designated vaccination section on each dog's Revival Health Record to maintain a clear, professional record of vaccines.
